AFTER SUNSET AS THE LIGHT DIED

 

After sunset as the light died

I stayed up all night and tried

To figure out where the sun could be

Then it dawned on me

DAWN

The distant mountains
Pale in the mist
Reach up to the sky like children
Waiting to be kissed

As the sun comes slowly into view
It turns the vast sky blue
Birds awaken bright as the day
As if to chase the night away
